Speaker A

Right, right, right.

And it's.

Speaker C

It's.

Speaker C

It's something that you.

You never are prepared for.

Jeremy ain't the smartest dude in the world, but the word of.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker C

Make it.

Speaker C

That means when the ball goes through the hoop.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

You get to take it back.

Speaker C

They argued over that because you shot the ball too close to the basket for it to be making.

Speaker C

Take it.

Speaker C

Yeah.

Speaker C

No, it's been.

Speaker C

It's been a long two weeks.

Speaker C

I ain't gonna lie to you.

Speaker A

Hey, look, the crazy thing is too German for.

Speaker A

You came.

So I had to get on my boys earlier.

Speaker A

They fighting.

Telling his brother, like, look, you didn't do it right, so do it again.

Speaker A

So I come in and intervene just to make sure the game is going right.

Speaker A

So I told Ethan to do the move.

I said, johnny, do the move.

Speaker A

So Ethan, do the move again.

Speaker A

Why is this argument going on?

Speaker B

This just.

Speaker A

Can we just be fair around here?

Speaker A

I'm like, God, dog, but work for me, man.

Speaker A

Work.

Speaker A

Been kicking my butt, bro.

Speaker A

Cuz, you know, for me, I drive, so, yeah, I deal with traffic all day.

Speaker A

People just act like they can't Dr. Just can't drive.

Speaker A

Like it just.

Speaker A

And it's been hot outside.

Speaker A

Like, man, I've been going through it at work.

Speaker A

I ain't going to even lie to you.

Speaker B

I be still out there in that west side.

Speaker B

So it ain't nothing but desert out there.

Speaker A

So, yeah, you gotta hear him get.

Speaker B

Out of my compadres out there.

Speaker B

Just hanging out in the oil field.

Speaker A

You gotta hear him and get out of there.

Speaker B

Sure, yeah, I'm trying to get out of there.

Speaker B

I'm trying to get worse.

Speaker B

We got some trees or something.

Speaker A

Oh, yeah.

Speaker A

But too.

Speaker A

Look how y' all feel about the first, like the, the first NFL week, though.

Speaker A

Because the first NFL week for me was lit.

Speaker A

I don't care what nobody say because it was lit.

Speaker B

Feel like it's just rerun for me.

Speaker B

As far as teams, I root himself.

Speaker A

Before the excitement of the league.

Speaker C

I can't, I can't get excited.

Speaker C

You know why I can't get excited?

Speaker C

And this is the problem of the world, Jeremy.

Speaker C

I was raised junior.

Speaker C

I was raised about this word called loyalty.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

And I'm loyal to a fault because I don't, I can't cheer for another team.

Speaker C

I'm a Cowboys fan to the heart.

Speaker B

Right.

Speaker C

And anybody who, who's a true Cowboy fan, not them haters who just waiting for the Cowboys to win, I'mma talk.

Speaker C

No until they win.

Speaker C

I'm talking about, I'm talking about the real, the real fans know how hard it is to deal with the Cowboys.

Speaker C

And for me, it's the same as showing up to.

Speaker C

So Kason plays volleyball at the high school.

Speaker C

They have to stick around for the varsity game because they want everybody's support.

Speaker C

Right?

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker C

If case and team lose, guess what I'm doing.

Speaker C

I'm going home.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

It's it.

Speaker C

I ain't got the, the motivation to watch somebody else child play.

Speaker A

Right.

Speaker C

I feel the same about the Cowboys.

Speaker C

So when you ask me how the NFL season's been going, I don't know.

Speaker C

I've been on ESPN app and I can tell you about some stats.

Speaker C

I play fantasy football, so I can tell you about my team on there.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

But actually watching the game, it's like.

Speaker A

For what, man?

Speaker A

See, but see, I'm saying I'm a fan of, of the league, though.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker B

It's been some good football, so.

Speaker A

It's been some good games.

Speaker A

I ain't like my team like y' all already German, you know, my team is a Cowboy, but, but when it comes.

Speaker A

I ain't trying to hear that.

Speaker A

Here you go.

Speaker B

That's why, that's why I've been struggling.

Speaker B

Because my backup team, the Texans, and they owe them too.

Speaker A

That's what you get.

Speaker B

That's what you can't win for losing what you get.

Speaker A

Hey, look, y', all, this is Dash.

Speaker B

Princeton.

Speaker A

Kill it, y'.

Speaker A

All.

Speaker A

We here hanging out, kicking it.

Speaker A

You know how we do this show, man?

Speaker A

We always start the show, don't it?

Speaker C

Yeah, we do.

Speaker C

We do.

Speaker C

How we start it.

Speaker A

We start this show by taking a shot.

Speaker C

Take a shot.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

So I, I, I think it should be our justice, you know, to take another one.

Speaker C

Yeah, it's only.

Speaker C

It's only one.

Speaker C

It's.

Speaker C

It's only right.

Speaker A

But I was going to sip that one.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker C

We ain't sipping shots.

Speaker A

Yeah, I know.

Speaker A

I was gonna sip me one, too.

Speaker C

You gave me the.

Speaker C

The breakdown of how the show should go.

Speaker C

Hey, but look, if we actually follow the breakdown, gonna be taking a shot.

Speaker C

When I drink tequila, I ain't on your li.

Speaker A

Understand, Jeremy, you ain't taking a shot.

Speaker A

Jeremy ain't taking the shot.

Speaker A

Y'.

Speaker A

All, it's cool.

Speaker A

I had put it on.

Speaker A

On record that he was taking the shot.

Speaker B

Well, I brought the ball.

Speaker C

We ain't gonna tell nobody.

Speaker A

Yeah, we gonna tell nobody if y' all ain't listening.

Speaker B

But how did it taste anyway?

Speaker B

I didn't know.

Speaker B

This is something.

Speaker C

It's smooth.

Speaker A

It's good.

Speaker A

I had.

Speaker C

It's good.

Speaker B

It was.

Speaker B

It was suggested by Specs, what they call.

Speaker A

They can send about these.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker B

Different.

Speaker B

On the spirits.

Speaker C

Direct.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

It's one they bring.

Speaker C

They straight.

Speaker C

Hey, I got a question for y' all real quick.

Speaker A

Yeah, go ahead.

Speaker C

Before we get into topics and really breaking down anything just to.

Speaker C

Just a.

Speaker C

A warm up, I guess.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

Jeremy, outside of your.

Speaker C

Your wife, does your kids actually determine your emotion?

Speaker C

Do they affect your emotion like that?

Speaker C

Or are you still able to be a guy in.

Speaker C

Control your emotions with your kids?

Speaker B

No, my kids, they.

Speaker B

They able to push all my buttons.

Speaker B

So they.

Speaker A

That's facts, though.

Speaker B

They have that ability.

Speaker B

I mean, each one in a different way.

Speaker B

They able to.

Speaker B

To affect my.

Speaker B

Affect me emotionally.

Speaker B

So it's.

Speaker B

You know, it's not always bad either.

Speaker B

But, you know, there's certain ways I look at baby girl.

Speaker B

You know, the stuff that she do is more, you know, just wanting to be the baby.

Speaker B

Opposed to the boys usually just doing stuff that they don't think.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker B

Think through.

Speaker B

Yes.

Speaker A

For me, it's more like.

Speaker C

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, J.R. same question.

Speaker A

Look, but for me, it's more like.

Speaker A

Like, they get to me to the point where it's like, you know, you should be doing it.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker A

But you not doing it.

Speaker A

You know, but other than that, it's like, you know, life goes on, right?

Speaker A

Yeah, but it's just something like, come on, man.

Speaker A

Like, now I gotta get mad, or now I got to get in my feelings about certain stuff.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker A

But they do push my buttons when they come down to, like.

Speaker A

I wouldn't say it's the button.

Speaker A

They do fluctuate my emotion when it comes down, like they being sick or something like that.

Speaker A

But most of the time, when they push my button, it's for something that I.

Speaker A

In the back of my mind, you should be doing it right.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

Because, like, earlier today, like, I go in a room, like, I pull them out today rooms or whatever, and I make them stand at that dough and.

Speaker B

Look at their room.

Speaker A

So when they look at their room, I'll be like, bro, you got.

Speaker A

You got stuff all on the ground.

Speaker A

Look.

Speaker A

Look at your bed.

Speaker A

Like this.

Speaker A

How you living?

Speaker A

Like, you got one area to keep clean.

Speaker A

You don't keep that clean.

Speaker A

Now I gotta get upset.

Speaker A

Like, come on, look at the bathroom, man.

Speaker A

Y' all got P out on the counters.

Speaker A

I mean, all on the.

Speaker A

The toilet bowl and all that.

Speaker A

I'm like, come on, this is how y' all live.

Speaker A

Y' all don't know how to clean up out of y' all's there.

Speaker A

That's what I be getting mad at it.

Speaker C

And see, so for.

Speaker C

For me, it ain't just the.

Speaker C

The anger.

Speaker C

My kids really do pull that strings of emotion for me.

Speaker C

They.

Speaker C

They really do control my woman is.

Speaker C

Is the same.

Speaker C

But my kids really can, like, pull those strings, and it's.

Speaker C

It's period.

Speaker C

So for me, it's like.

Speaker C

Like something as simple as, okay, elaborate.

Speaker C

I got you.

Speaker C

So for me, it's.

Speaker C

It's something like.

Speaker C

Like, I watched Kason come in the house last week.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

And you know how you see a person, but you don't actually see a person?

Speaker C

So I've been seeing my baby every day, but I ain't been paying attention like that, I guess.

Speaker C

And when she came in that day, I paid attention to.

Speaker C

She's really slimmed down because of the sports, working out, but she's still thick, thick, thick.

Speaker C

My lithic casing.

Speaker A

And I got my gun.

Speaker C

You hear me?

Speaker C

So that.

Speaker C

And that's what I'm about to say.

Speaker C

So that's me.

Speaker C

That's where it's pulling the strings.

Speaker C

Because it's like, baby, if.

Speaker C

If not already.

Speaker C

Yeah, it's.

Speaker C

It's the dude that's.

Speaker B

That's reminding you, starting to smell on them.

Speaker C

You hear me?

Speaker C

And so for me.

Speaker C

For me, it's like a. I don't even know the emotion, Jay.

Speaker C

Is it anger?

Speaker A

No.

Speaker C

Is it sad?

Speaker A

Mixed emotions?

Speaker C

You see what I'm saying?

Speaker C

And so.

Speaker C

And then you turn to your boy, and that's what I'm saying, like, that I Asked the question.

Speaker C

Because as a dad, I feel bad about how emotional I truly am behind my kids.

Speaker A

Right?

Speaker C

Because if you see me in life, I'm nonchalant, right?

Speaker C

I'm playful.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

That's all I am.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

I ain't nothing else.

Speaker B

And.

Speaker C

And now dealing with kids, bro, I deal with every emotion with just a text message, right?

Speaker C

You see what I'm saying?

Speaker C

You said the wrong word.

Speaker C

You don't know how to spell now.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker B

Like, for real.

Speaker A

It's going in, like, peep this.

Speaker A

So.

Speaker A

So Johnny had.

Speaker A

He had open gym yesterday.

Speaker A

So he's like, dad, can I stay for open gym?

Speaker A

I said, cool, I got you.

Speaker A

I'm gonna pick you up, right?

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker B

So I'm leaving.

Speaker A

So I'm getting him a little, you know, an extra five minutes before I leave the house so he can get his stuff together.

Speaker A

So when I pull up, just come out.

Speaker A

So I'm leaving, bro.

Speaker A

As I'm leaving the house, it's a car honking the horn, and they stop, and I kind of look.

Speaker A

And I stopped, too, because they kept honking.

Speaker A

And it's him in this car, and he get out, bro.

Speaker A

I'm, like, staring him down as he get in the car.

Speaker A

And when he get in, I look at him, say, bro, don't do that no more, man.

Speaker A

Because I don't know who car you got in.

Speaker A

I don't know who you drive.

Speaker A

Like, there might be your.

Speaker A

Your classmates, but I don't know who driving.

Speaker C

You got me scared.

Speaker A

You got me scared.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

So I had to let them know.

Speaker A

It's like, bro.

Speaker A

Like, bro, if anything happened to you, bro, it's gonna be a problem.

Speaker A

Like, I don't.

Speaker A

I don't want that.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

And it's gonna get bad.

Speaker A

I don't want that to happen, man.

Speaker C

Okay?

Speaker C

So.

Speaker C

So listen.

Speaker C

I ain't mean to prolong the show, but listen.

Speaker A

Let's go.

Speaker A

So.

Speaker C

So.

Speaker C

So how, as a parent, can you explain to your child that I'm angry?

Speaker C

Or can you.

Speaker C

You may.

Speaker C

It may be where it's nothing to explain until you get older, but I'm just trying to see what y' all say.

Speaker C

How can you explain to your child that my anger is truly me being scared?

Speaker A

Yeah, Like, I. I told.

Speaker A

I told him that.

Speaker A

I told.

Speaker A

I told Johnny that I was like, look, man.

Speaker A

Look, like what I just said earlier.

Speaker A

I was like, look, like, I notice your friends and stuff like that, but, like, you can't do that because now you got Daddy.

Speaker A

In a place where, you know, I don't want to be in emotionally.

Speaker A

Like, I'm scared right now because if anything happened to you, you know, now I'm in the.

Speaker A

In the mindset of bro, like, it's up.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

You feel what I'm saying?

Speaker A

Because now it's like, it's out of my control.

Speaker A

You got in the car that.

Speaker A

I don't know what car you got in.

Speaker B

Right?

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

I don't know the parent that dropped.

Speaker A

That's cool.

Speaker A

If I knew the parent that was driving and the kids that you riding with.

Speaker A

But now these are your classmates.

Speaker C

And so that.

Speaker C

That's what.

Speaker C

And I'm.

Speaker C

I'm sorry.

Speaker C

Jermaine let you talk.

Speaker A

You good?

Speaker C

Just.

Speaker C

Just.

Speaker C

It's just the.

Speaker C

The thought process.

Speaker C

Because I'm.

Speaker C

I'm lost right now.

Speaker C

I really can't answer this question right now.

Speaker C

I'm being honest.

Speaker C

No, but, Jeremy, can you tell me, like, how can I explain it?

Speaker B

What I usually do, like, when we have our little moments and stuff like that, I always like to come back around and, like, explain to them, like, my thought process and try to understand his thought.

Speaker B

Press uses Jason.

Speaker B

That's my tough one that I.

Speaker B

You know, he'd be like, bro, he don't.

Speaker B

He.

Speaker B

He like to just go.

Speaker B

They don't think stuff.

Speaker B

So you asked.

Speaker B

You can ask them.

Speaker B

Like, hey, you get ready to ask him.

Speaker B

Go grab somebody off the counter.

Speaker B

He'll take off running, and then he'll stop halfway.

Speaker B

What are you going to ask me?

Speaker B

I'm like, bro, you do it all the time.

Speaker B

So, like, just period when you out in public, bro, He'll.

Speaker B

He just goes.

Speaker B

And don't think about it.

Speaker B

I'm like, bro, you.

Speaker B

You be walking up to people.

Speaker B

Like, I say, dog.

Speaker B

So we.

Speaker B

I usually just try to explain to him.

Speaker B

We.

Speaker B

I try to not just have the angry moments with him where I'm yelling on him, trying to, you know, in frustration because he got me hot.

Speaker B

I tried to go back like.

Speaker B

Like, dude, you gotta watch it.

Speaker B

Or, you know, just try to break it down to him, let him know.

Speaker B

Like, I mean, I don't know, bro.

Speaker B

I feel like I gotta do that.

Speaker A

But I got.

Speaker B

Because I don't want it to be like, you just always getting pounded.

Speaker A

Right, right, right.

Speaker B

You don't understand why.

Speaker A

Okay?

Speaker B

You're trying to make it so it's a learning opportunity is what I'm trying to get.

Speaker A

100.

Speaker A

No.

Speaker A

Now, look, does that make us soft?

Speaker A

His Parents.

Speaker C

No, no, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

Speaker B

I'm trying to make them smarter.

Speaker A

Right, exactly.

Speaker A

I feel what you're saying too, jerk.

Speaker C

But as a.

Speaker C

At to me in.

Speaker C

In the reason it literally, Jeremy just opened me up with his answer.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

Because it's a.

Speaker C

As a man, please, as a man, when you give me a problem.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker C

I'm going to find a solution so it's never a problem again.

Speaker B

Right.

Speaker C

So when I.

Speaker C

When I deal with this, this happened.

Speaker C

Okay.

Speaker C

I had to go through with.

Speaker C

But I'mma come back over here and this is how we're going to handle it from this point forward.

Speaker C

That way it's not a problem anymore.

Speaker C

And so what Jeremy just said is how I handle it.

Speaker C

I never explain to you that my anger comes from fear.

Speaker C

What I do is what Jeremy just said.

Speaker C

I'm trying to talk you through everything now.

Speaker C

So I heard, I heard my dad tell me, man, the, the first, I think case and last bad whooping, she was about 6, 7 years old.

Speaker C

She ain't got no bad ones like that at all.

Speaker C

But that.

Speaker C

That attacking.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker C

You're gonna understand where I'm coming from now.

Speaker C

It's just.

Speaker A

I'm still doing it.

Speaker C

No, just on my daddy.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker B

I'm still doing.

Speaker C

So she hadn't had that in a minute.

Speaker C

And now I heard my daddy for so long remind me, talk more and be less.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

And it's, it's.

Speaker C

I understand why he beat me black and blue.

Speaker B

Yeah, Listen.

Speaker C

I didn't listen.

Speaker C

But I also understand we never talked.

Speaker A

Right.

Speaker C

So I never felt comfortable talking to you.

Speaker C

And junior brings it to another point of I can't feel soft.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

Because that's what I want.

Speaker C

I want you to be able to talk to me.

Speaker C

I don't want you to feel like daddy coming at you because.

Speaker C

Because all the parents before me and the parents before me feel like my parents are coming at me now.

Speaker C

They're.

Speaker C

They are the ones telling us.

Speaker C

And now we're going through with.

Speaker C

If we talk now.

Speaker C

We get to the bottom of the relationship now.

Speaker C

And yes, we build the relationship, but we get to the bottom of what's going on.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

And it's funny you said that too, because yesterday I just.

Speaker A

It was on the rampage because like my wife, she always have a.

Speaker A

Every time I get out, she got like a playlist of what they done done.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

So.

Speaker A

So.

Speaker A

So I go outside and I'm walking outside, I'm moving the trash can, push it in the trash.

Speaker A

And I see a big old hole on the gate.

Speaker B

Oh, damn.

Speaker A

So I'm like, babe, what happened to the gate?

Speaker A

He's like, yeah, Johnny.

Speaker A

Johnny had something to the gate.

Speaker A

I was like, for real?

Speaker A

What?

Speaker A

Okay, when did this happen?

Speaker A

So they hooping outside, and he, you know, fell into the gate or whatever.

Speaker A

I'm like, all right, cool.

Speaker A

Look, German, look, it happened on Sunday.

Speaker A

He didn't say nothing to Tuesday.

Speaker B

So he's gonna fix.

Speaker A

No.

Speaker A

And this will be getting to me.

Speaker A

When we talk what you said earlier, Dominique, like, we'll get like, what's trigger your emotions and stuff like that.

Speaker A

So the only thing is, it's like, oh, I was gonna tell you.

Speaker A

Oh, I forgot to tell you, but.

Speaker A

But it did happen.

Speaker A

I'm like, bro, why you didn't tell me as soon as it happened?

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker C

Hold on.

Speaker C

We can have a whole segment on how a child tells you.

Speaker C

I forgot.

Speaker B

Oh, yeah.

Speaker C

Oh, but you ain't forget you needed that money for what you wanted.

Speaker B

Well, y' all sound like it's funny because y' all sound like our parent, but I remember being there in that situation like you said, mj, I know we got one because we messing around, trying to be madman at the crib.

Speaker C

Yeah.

Speaker B

I had a trampoline, and we used to stand it up on the can of paint.

Speaker B

So we going back and forth.

Speaker B

We big bounce, man.

Speaker B

We bouncing off, ducking, slamming.

Speaker B

And one of the times I think it was me.

Speaker B

So, you know, the paint got the little holes in the middle.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker B

Like some smart people, we was.

Speaker B

We put the damn trampoline thing right over the hole.

Speaker B

So we.

Speaker B

We step on it.

Speaker B

It goes straight through the can.

Speaker B

We get white paint everywhere, all over.

Speaker B

My daddy head to the house.

Speaker B

So we over here, like, damn.

Speaker B

We trying to hide the paint.

Speaker B

Hide the trampoline and clean up the paint off the ground, too.

Speaker B

Boy, that's just so funny.

Speaker A

Look, we went over, like, I called German, like, any day.

Speaker A

Hey, did Uncle Jerry find out?

Speaker A

Did he say anything about me?

Speaker A

We good?

Speaker A

All right, Cool thinking.

Speaker A

That paper, bro.

Speaker B

We h. That.

Speaker B

That was back there for years before we move.

Speaker A

That was funny.

Speaker B

Going be years before I go touch that.

Speaker A

For real.

Speaker A

Had a big old hole and everything.

Speaker A

But that was funny.

Speaker B

Straight through this.

Speaker B

But.

Speaker B

But what I'm getting to is that, bro, I just remember being in those situations.

Speaker B

So it was funny thinking, like, I ain't going to give myself up now.

Speaker A

Like, so it's like.

Speaker B

It's funny being on the other side, cuz.

Speaker B

I can only imagine what my daddy was thinking all that time.

Speaker B

He like, bro, you could have.

Speaker B

Cuz.

Speaker B

I know.

Speaker B

Like, for a good example, I was riding my bike at the crib where I cut my knee over, right?

Speaker B

I walked right past my daddy, and his friend was at the house who do shirts too.

Speaker B

I walked right past him.

Speaker B

I walked right past my mama in the kitchen and went to the bathroom, tried to bandage it up.

Speaker B

My knee was completely bust open.

Speaker A

J, I'm over here.

Speaker B

Instead of wiping it there, wipe me so everywhere.

Speaker B

White me showing blood everywhere.

Speaker B

And I'm over here, got band aid, trying to do it.

Speaker B

I stand up, we'll pop right back over.

Speaker B

I was like, damn, bro.

Speaker B

This ugly.

Speaker B

And my mama walk in, look like.

Speaker A

Damn, what the hell?

Speaker B

Your knee all the way up.

Speaker B

I was like, yeah.

Speaker B

So it's like, bro, you thinking like.

Speaker B

So that's why I think about all of that stuff when I be talking to mine.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker B

It's like, bro.

Speaker B

And I just want you to have sense, though.

Speaker B

Like, no common sense for my frustration.

Speaker C

But see, for me, my biggest thing, and it's a.

Speaker C

A honest thing for me, it's a trigger of mine.

Speaker B

Little ass.

Speaker A

Come on, little f. Do it.

Speaker B

Struggling, holding on to the T. Ain't got no power.

Speaker B

I'm trying to get this little fan.

Speaker A

So he's hiding them up again.

Speaker A

All right.

Speaker B

A little fan that could.

Speaker A

That's why I was trying to.

Speaker A

I'm about to go get the big ones.

Speaker C

Yeah, you gonna have to get the big one.

Speaker A

Yeah, I'm about gonna do that in the minute.

Speaker B

I'm good.

Speaker B

Bouncing out the bottle.

Speaker C

Oh, yeah.

Speaker C

But, like, for me, it's the.

Speaker C

The trigger for me is the same thing they used to, like, bother my dad.

Speaker C

Like, the truth.

Speaker C

Just tell me the truth.

Speaker A

Right?

Speaker C

Like, if you tell me the truth up front.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

We can work through anything.

Speaker A

For sure.

Speaker C

But if I have to find out, right, Or I find out you lying.

Speaker A

Yeah, man.

Speaker C

That's my, like, issue with it.

Speaker C

Just tell me the truth.

Speaker C

Right?

Speaker C

You did it.

Speaker C

Okay, cool.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

Let's move on to this.

Speaker C

Let's have a conversation.

Speaker C

If you have to get your butt boot, you have to rely, right?

Speaker C

And so for my kids, you can be kids, because I remember when I was a kid.

Speaker A

Kid.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

And.

Speaker C

And.

Speaker C

And whenever we have William Pearson on the show, he gonna remind you of just how bad Dominic was.

Speaker C

But, yeah, for me, it's.

Speaker A

It's her way bad.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker C

So, hey, so, hey, listen, anytime on the show, we change the segment.

Speaker A

But no, but look, because I Got a.

Speaker A

Because you.

Speaker A

What you just said.

Speaker A

I mean, it's like.

Speaker A

Like I try to tell my.

Speaker A

All my kids.

Speaker A

It's like.

Speaker A

Like, I kind of really don't care what you did, but at the same time, let's deal with it now.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker A

Before we get to where it don't need to be.

Speaker A

You feel what I'm saying?

Speaker A

Because it might not be.

Speaker A

As for you to come talk to me, and.

Speaker C

And that's why for me.

Speaker C

And I'm not saying it's an excuse.

Speaker C

I should have grew up, whatever.

Speaker C

But that's why talking to your kids and I guess being the.

Speaker C

I guess in somebody else's perspective, you could say a soft parent.

Speaker C

But you opened the door for your child to come talk to you.

Speaker C

So I did not want to tell my dad anything bad about me.

Speaker C

Like, so what Jeremy said is my thought process.

Speaker C

I ain't gonna tell on me.

Speaker B

No.

Speaker A

I ain't doing it.

Speaker C

You know my daddy.

Speaker A

Nope.

Speaker B

Nah, I'm good talking to the police.

Speaker B

You gotta prove.

Speaker C

Hey, got no.

Speaker B

I ain't got no truth for you.

Speaker B

You got prove it.

Speaker A

You got to prove.

Speaker A

You got to prove.

Speaker A

I need.

Speaker C

And so that.

Speaker C

That.

Speaker C

That there is.

Speaker C

Is the.

Speaker C

The.

Speaker C

The reason.

Speaker C

You know what I'm saying, Where I.

Speaker B

Want you to talk.

Speaker C

Because I was scared.

Speaker C

I ain't.

Speaker C

I ain't got a lot to.

Speaker A

But that's.

Speaker A

But I think that's.

Speaker A

That's the era we grew up in.

Speaker A

So for us, it's like, well, your granddaddy soft on y'.

Speaker B

All.

Speaker A

Well, shoot, when it come down to us.

Speaker A

Look, I watched this clip where so the dude was.

Speaker A

You know, he was doing both parts or whatever.

Speaker A

So he was sitting on the couch, and he was like, hey, man, get down.

Speaker A

Get down.

Speaker A

For you hurt yourself.

Speaker A

See, look, now, you didn't broke the lamp.

Speaker A

So.

Speaker A

So.

Speaker A

So the granddaddy came in.

Speaker A

He's like, see, I didn't told you.

Speaker A

Now your granddaddy finna get on you.

Speaker A

He said, that's all right, baby.

Speaker A

You know your grandma wanted nothing different.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker A

He was like, if that was me.

Speaker A

Yeah, if that was you.

Speaker A

Cause you was bad.

Speaker A

But he.

Speaker A

All right, let's go get what I'm saying.

Speaker A

Because he was like, if that was me, man, you would have been upside my head.

Speaker A

He said, yeah.

Speaker A

Cause you was bad.

Speaker A

Like, come on.

Speaker C

And we grew up.

Speaker C

We grew up in a totally different time.

Speaker C

But listen, though, it is.

Speaker A

Oh, yeah, for sure.

Speaker C

It's Jeremy.

Speaker C

The.

Speaker C

The show is called dad, Friends, and Water.

Speaker A

Hey, if y' all just not tuning in, this is Dad's friends.

Speaker A

Tequila.

Speaker A

Y' all already know what time it is.

Speaker A

Time for us to go ahead and take this shot.

Speaker A

Let's go ahead and get into it.

Speaker A

Yes, sir.

Speaker A

Who turn is.

Speaker A

Is it damn time?

Speaker A

What you got?

Speaker A

Oh, which one you going?

Speaker A

What?

Speaker A

Which?

Speaker B

Oh, he said, hold on, hold on.

Speaker A

You know what?

Speaker A

You know what?

Speaker A

You know what?

Speaker A

I don't even know how to.

Speaker B

Now.

Speaker B

I'm still.

Speaker A

I keep forgetting caller zero, but now.

Speaker B

Go ahead.

Speaker B

Conversation.

Speaker B

Okay, so actually, you can back though that off of conversation we was having just a minute ago.

Speaker C

Okay.

Speaker A

All right.

Speaker B

So the question we asking is how you been able to get your kids basically to open up and talk to you and to back down?

Speaker B

Like I said earlier, I talked to mine, but it's like, it ain't reciprocated back yet.

Speaker B

So it's still, like.

Speaker B

I just.

Speaker B

That's why it's still just coming back around.

Speaker B

I just want them to have, like, common sense.

Speaker B

Like, you know, because mine.

Speaker B

They do.

Speaker B

They.

Speaker B

They biggest thing is trying to sneak on YouTube, but they do the dumbest stuff.

Speaker B

And TV by itself with the TV on, like, two.

Speaker B

Like, volume on two.

Speaker B

So I'm like, bro, like, you can't even hear the tv.

Speaker B

And then every time, you know, the.

Speaker B

The fire stick got those hot buttons at the.

Speaker B

At the bottom.

Speaker B

So every time I like that, you always switching to Disney plus every time I come down the stairs.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

I like, bro, you not even been.

Speaker B

Like, like, discreet with it.

Speaker A

I need to cut you out.

Speaker A

It is like, come on, bro.

Speaker A

But.

Speaker B

But it's like, that's.

Speaker B

I just want them to have common sense.

Speaker A

It's funny you said that.

Speaker A

Right?

Speaker A

So you.

Speaker A

The Jacksonville era.

Speaker A

They spent the night.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker A

So I come in the house, and I'm coming in, and Jason on the couch.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker A

Right.

Speaker A

So he's like, hey, Uncle J.R. real fast.

Speaker A

I'm like, hold on.

Speaker A

So what I did was, so I had my phone.

Speaker A

I'm sitting in the office, right?

Speaker A

I had my phone.

Speaker A

I got my camera right there.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker A

And I can see him.

Speaker A

So I kind of zoomed in just so I can see him flip it over.

Speaker A

So I open up.

Speaker A

So, look, this is what I did.

Speaker A

I owe them.

Speaker A

I'm like, oh, yeah.

Speaker A

So I walked in.

Speaker A

I walked in.

Speaker A

I went to the.

Speaker A

Went to the kitchen or whatever and pretend like I was getting something coming back.

Speaker A

And he pulled it back up.

Speaker A

So I kind of.

Speaker A

I said, all right.

Speaker A

I remember Jeremy told him.

Speaker A

I said, you know what?

Speaker A

Hey, Jason.

Speaker A

Hey.

Speaker A

You got about 30 minutes.

Speaker A

You got to turn Everything off.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

Because I want the house dark.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker A

I got that from you.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker A

I want the house dark.

Speaker A

I want.

Speaker A

I don't want to hear no movement, cuz anything pop up.

Speaker A

Pineapples.

Speaker A

But it's funny you said that between my oldest boy, like he'd be on his phone and he'll lay down and he'll curl up and be on his phone.

Speaker A

I'm like, man, look, you know what time it is, dog?

Speaker A

Like, cuz I don't know what you looking at, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

You know, especially at this time of day for us, if it was back then for us, what we did, what.

Speaker B

We didn't have nothing to get on.

Speaker A

Really, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

I can imagine.

Speaker C

But like what.

Speaker C

I'm a piggyback off of Jeremy and I feel the same way.

Speaker C

And with the reciprocation of it.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

But it's like, I just want you to know the door is open.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

But with trying to get them to open up and talk, it's bruh.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

It's worse than pulling teeth because it's, it's.

Speaker C

And I.

Speaker C

What we just talked about, which is really, you know, I remember, man, I remember it.

Speaker C

I didn't understand.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker C

I understand my emotion back then.

Speaker C

I ain't know how to open up and talk back then.

Speaker C

So I can't really explain to you what's up.

Speaker B

So something that.

Speaker B

Because like I said, growing up, I knew my dad was tough on me and I knew why he was like, he was.

Speaker B

But I'm trying not to be like that.

Speaker B

Right.

Speaker B

So.

Speaker B

So one thing that I do is because I noticed like early on with when I had Jason.

Speaker B

I know.

Speaker B

I noticed that I was always like getting on.

Speaker B

The only time we really talked about talk talk is when I was getting on them.

Speaker B

So one thing I started trying to do is like, especially right after school when I pick him up is I asked them like, not just how was your day?

Speaker B

Type stuff.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker B

What did you learn today?

Speaker B

Was it.

Speaker B

I mean, you had to learn something.

Speaker B

You hear all day you learn one thing.

Speaker B

So I. I had them tell me one thing they learned, what they ate, if they liked it, what they liked about it.

Speaker A

Right.

Speaker B

Not just.

Speaker B

Don't give me just.

Speaker A

No, it was okay.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker B

All day.

Speaker B

I need to know all that.

Speaker B

So if it is something like, oh, this little kid was messing with me or this, this happened, or I got in trouble doing this or you know, whatever.

Speaker B

And you know, they'll.

Speaker B

They'll Understand that we got that communication.

Speaker B

So that'd be just something that I try to do because the kids like it.

Speaker B

They get in the car and they'll talk for basically the whole time we driving home, just telling me about their day, about what they did, what they did in class, what's coming up.

Speaker B

So, I mean, again, it's just something that I try to do because I know for a good minute, only time we were talking is when I was just getting on the air.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker B

And it's like, I hate for that.

Speaker A

To be the only thing, the only.

Speaker B

Communication I got with my dad is that, like you saying is, it's funny when I did something messed up.

Speaker A

It's funny you said.

Speaker A

Because I gotta give credit to my old lady because she does a good job of doing it.

Speaker A

Because when, when the kids come home, she always be like, so how was your day?

Speaker A

Yeah, like, she always go into taking the headphones out because you don't want to run out with the ear.

Speaker A

You about to run out with them.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

You know, the thing over there, the water, matter of fact, grab that big fan outside and grow up.

Speaker A

But, but my thing is for.

Speaker C

Like.

Speaker A

My lady, she always asked them questions.

Speaker A

And I started doing the same thing just to see how that day go and to the point where you can actually, like, talk and form a sentence.

Speaker A

Right.

Speaker A

And communicate back to me.

Speaker B

Right.

Speaker A

But my thing is with them, especially, like, my oldest, like, for him, he is, like, so stuck on just nothing.

Speaker A

It's like, bro, it's your life.

Speaker A

Your life have to be some kind of, like, exciting to you for somebody to hear.

Speaker A

If that makes sense.

Speaker C

Yes.

Speaker A

And.

Speaker C

And so.

Speaker C

So with casing, it's the same thing.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

I have to.

Speaker A

Is that the junior high, high school, YouTube?

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

And I don't.

Speaker C

I don't know.

Speaker C

Yeah.

Speaker C

Yeah.

Speaker C

Because I got two twins.

Speaker C

Because the twins will talk.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker A

Because I know Ethan, he's in.

Speaker A

Because he.

Speaker A

He'll come home.

Speaker A

Hey, dad, look, we got the little old thing today.

Speaker C

Tomorrow we're doing that XYZ and you cool.

Speaker C

Yeah, you're right.

Speaker A

Because it's got to be.

Speaker A

Because now you, you.

Speaker A

I don't want to say it's peer pressure or that type of area, but it's just like, once you get to middle school, I think the, the mindset of elementary doesn't make sense to.

Speaker A

To the middle school, high school era.

Speaker C

Well, I think, I think the.

Speaker C

The difference is when you get into that age, you got that.

Speaker C

You got all those emotions in there, the puberty level, and that's the end.

Speaker C

And so for.

Speaker C

For a dude, I'm waking up every day, and it's like, yeah, manhood.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

Manhood.

Speaker B

And.

Speaker C

And for women.

Speaker C

I don't know what it is for women, because I. Yeah, but whatever it is for you, that's what they're going through.

Speaker C

So I think that's what it is, because it's.

Speaker C

It's so up and down.

Speaker C

With my oldest, it's so up and down.

Speaker C

Shit come in one day, I ask you questions and you.

Speaker B

Boom.

Speaker C

You can talk.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

And then I get FOMO days.

Speaker C

Like.

Speaker A

Yeah, yeah, but see, but it's different because, like, my oldest.

Speaker A

My.

Speaker A

I can't say my oldest.

Speaker A

My second oldest, because both of my girls communicate.

Speaker A

Like they'll talk my ear off.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

But when they come down to my boys, it's like sometimes they do say it was cool, or sometimes it'll be like it was all right.

Speaker A

You know, we did do this today, and I gotta go in and dig deep about your life, about what you did today.

Speaker A

Did you just plug it right here?

Speaker A

Unplug the little fan that could it.

Speaker A

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker A

We got hot in here.

Speaker A

Yeah, we got hot in here, huh?

Speaker A

Yeah, let's go.

Speaker A

Yeah, but.

Speaker A

But my thing is, though, is I think for us, it's like what we.

Speaker A

What we was all saying.

Speaker A

It's like we try.

Speaker A

I'm trying to create a safe space for you to come and communicate and be able to come talk about certain things that's going on in your life, because I'm not with you all the time, so I want to be able to help you along the way to the point where, you know, you good and everything else is fine, and.

Speaker C

And I don't know if we'll ever get to that place.

Speaker C

But what I do know is that first part is a must for.

Speaker C

For all dads, and it's.

Speaker C

It's getting to a place where your kids rely on your voice.

Speaker C

I think that's.

Speaker C

That's also, like, for me, the girls.

Speaker C

It's my boy, too.

Speaker C

My biggest fear is you.

Speaker C

You don't rely on my voice.

Speaker C

Because the.

Speaker C

The thing about a dad is you have the steady voice.

Speaker C

The emotion ain't gonna take over.

Speaker C

So my keys make me emotional.

Speaker A

Yeah, for sure.

Speaker C

But I don't.

Speaker C

I don't use the.

Speaker C

I don't think off of my emotion.

Speaker A

Right.

Speaker C

It's the logic part.

Speaker C

Right.

Speaker C

And so the scariest thing for me as a dad is my kids not relying on my voice.

Speaker C

And so even if you Never feel like you can fully open up to a dad.

Speaker C

Cuz no matter what, I'm softer than my dad was.

Speaker C

But you still have a fear because I'm.

Speaker C

I'm dead.

Speaker A

I'm dead.

Speaker C

So you can't tell me everything, right?

Speaker A

100%.

Speaker C

But I just need you to.

Speaker C

To be in a place where you are open proof.

Speaker A

Yeah, sure.

Speaker C

And it's.

Speaker C

It.

Speaker A

Yeah, because see, for me, it's like what you just said.

Speaker A

I'm gonna piggyback off that because, like, I won't.

Speaker A

Like, you can go on with your day, but if you need to come back and talk, and you won't, you need it, right?

Speaker B

You.

Speaker A

My phone is always on, my door's always open.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

And I, and I think I try to, you know, tell my kids that all the time.

Speaker A

Because when I got on my oldest boy though, yesterday, it was more like, look, you don't have to do that with me.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

You can come talk to me like.

Speaker A

And one thing I always tell my kids is I tell them about me.

Speaker A

Daddy gonna always be loud.

Speaker A

Daddy gonna always be when at you.

Speaker A

That's how daddy is, right?

Speaker A

So go ahead and get that part out your head.

Speaker A

So you know the emotional side.

Speaker A

Just listen to what daddy have to say.

Speaker A

And that's what I think that, that I try to strive to better myself is to communicate with them, to let them know, like, look, it's okay to come talk to me.

Speaker A

You ain't got to be scared, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

Because I know how I grew up.

Speaker A

I don't want you to feel the same way, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

Because my daddy was a hard ass, bro.

Speaker A

Like I kid you not, let me go put a hole in the gate over there and not say nothing for three days.

Speaker A

Yeah, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

Like, my daddy come to hunt me down, and you know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

Look, go patch it up type demon.

Speaker A

It's time to take shots.

Speaker B

Time to take a shot.

Speaker A

You know what time it is?

Speaker A

Nobody feeling good over here.

Speaker C

I'm feeling real good.

Speaker C

I ain't gonna lie to you, you.

Speaker B

Know what I'm saying?

Speaker B

I ain't gonna lie to you.

Speaker A

Hey, his cup empty.

Speaker B

Like a two shot.

Speaker A

I'm just letting y' all know, just tap me with an empty cup violation.

Speaker B

Like, you might as well just tap the bottles and tap the empty glass still full.

Speaker C

I don't understand how this, how they turned into this, but I'm Gonna let you know when we take a shot.

Speaker C

We go on.

Speaker C

I want to introduce the same.

Speaker A

Come on with it.

Speaker A

What you got?

Speaker C

And this is the perfect time to talk about it.

Speaker C

Has parenthood made it harder for friendships or on your friendships?

Speaker A

Well, it all depends.

Speaker A

What are the.

Speaker A

The morals of the friend?

Speaker A

Because, hey, I know you take care of your kid.

Speaker A

Yeah, I think you take care of your kid.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker A

Yeah, you take it.

Speaker A

And so I. I can't associate myself with somebody.

Speaker A

They don't align with my alliance.

Speaker B

Right.

Speaker A

Does that make sense, though?

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

Because that's just like, if.

Speaker A

If I hoop and y' all play football, why would I ask y' all to come hoop with me?

Speaker A

I know for a fact y' all play football.

Speaker B

Right.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

So I don't know how you feel about it, but that's just my little partake.

Speaker B

I took the question.

Speaker B

It's just how I took it is just time.

Speaker B

More time.

Speaker B

I don't think it had.

Speaker B

I don't think it made, like, the friendships bad.

Speaker B

Just.

Speaker B

It's just hard a lot of times, especially when the kids get going, it's just hard to make time just to do each other.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker B

Because by the time I get some time to do something, I just want to sit at home and just do nothing, really.

Speaker B

So it'd be like.

Speaker B

It'd be like that.

Speaker B

So those times when I be chilling, like, nah, I need to holl at the end, I'll let this person just catch up and kick it or whatever.

Speaker B

So.

Speaker B

And this is mainly that just time.

Speaker B

Oh, you heard now?

Speaker C

And I. I agree with.

Speaker C

With.

Speaker C

With you on that, because for me, it's the time.

Speaker C

I remember growing up with J. I remember growing up with Jeremy.

Speaker C

I remember the.

Speaker C

The.

Speaker C

The things we were getting into and the.

Speaker C

How much time I was around y'.

Speaker C

All and now to, like, Jeremy.

Speaker C

I think me and Jeremy talked on the phone yesterday.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker C

And he.

Speaker C

Bro, I ain't talked doing.

Speaker C

I'm doing something.

Speaker C

Friendships.

Speaker C

But it also.

Speaker C

But that is why, like, what Junior said, it's about the thought processes of the people I'm around.

Speaker C

Like Jeremy.

Speaker C

Understand?

Speaker C

Dominic B. I know Jeremy.

Speaker C

I know J.R. business.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

I gotta work and take care of my family.

Speaker C

And I'm.

Speaker C

I'm married.

Speaker C

I got a woman.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

All right, you married.

Speaker A

Hold on.

Speaker A

All right.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker C

But it's.

Speaker C

It's like a decision of saying, Jeremy, so you gonna choose a woman over me?

Speaker A

Yes.

Speaker A

Like.

Speaker C

I'm gonna choose my woman.

Speaker C

I'm gonna choose my kids.

Speaker C

But now it takes, it does kind of hinder this in this podcast and everything else.

Speaker C

It's that God time.

Speaker C

I'm.

Speaker C

I'm giving you back that God time that like as a parent, bro, my life ain't mine.

Speaker A

Right, right.

Speaker C

My schedule is mapped around whatever they got going on.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

I don't know.

Speaker C

I don't know if I can hang out.

Speaker C

Hold on, let me check.

Speaker C

They cal is what they got going on and it's not even a they, they control it.

Speaker C

It's not they my kids.

Speaker C

So that's my number one priority.

Speaker A

Right.

Speaker C

And so if you don't have like minded people as friends, then yeah, I don't think you, you, you're, as a parent, you're, you're really not going to have friends.

Speaker A

But I think that's, that's knowing each other too.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

Because if we communicate on that.

Speaker A

Well, I just, like you said, I just, I just know Dominique business.

Speaker A

I just know Jeremy business.

Speaker A

Like eventually we'll come back around.

Speaker A

But the thing is for us, it's more like once we put the, put the, the pin down, we come back and pick the pin back up at the same, same spot we left them up.

Speaker A

Flip it off.

Speaker A

You feel what I'm saying?

Speaker A

Yeah, but I just think that it do kind of make it harder because of the things that we have to do, you know, throughout the day.

Speaker A

Because when the last time we seen each other.

Speaker C

Last time we did podcast.

Speaker A

Like two, two weeks, three weeks, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

But we talk on the phone every blue moon, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

But yeah, at the same time, it's just a simple fact for us.

Speaker A

It's like life, we have life to deal with.

Speaker C

I gotta keep up with my keys.

Speaker C

I gotta keep up my woman.

Speaker C

Yeah, you mean I gotta keep up with my family.

Speaker C

Any.

Speaker C

All right.

Speaker C

Yeah, J, I got a slot open.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

On that day.

Speaker C

What day?

Speaker A

You say it.

Speaker A

How much time you got?

Speaker A

All right, cool.

Speaker A

I might got 20.

Speaker A

You got 20.

Speaker A

All right, cool.

Speaker C

So it's it.

Speaker C

And it's not even what Jeremy said.

Speaker C

It's not even because I'm jam packed seven days a week.

Speaker C

It's.

Speaker C

It's a. I have to do this and then I have to do this and that has nothing to do what I have to do with my kids.

Speaker C

So now when it's my time.

Speaker C

Yeah, Jeremy, I would like to go out for a drink.

Speaker C

Let's just go watch the game.

Speaker C

But when I sat down on my Couch or I sat down on my bed.

Speaker C

Either I dozed off or I just sat there.

Speaker A

But see, the thing is, too, though, you gotta think about it, too.

Speaker A

Like, I might have free time on Wednesday, but you booked on Wednesday.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

So it's just like our lives is different, and just making time for each other is different.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

It's like, all right, cool.

Speaker A

When can we sit down and.

Speaker A

And do something?

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker B

Right?

Speaker C

And this is on these.

Speaker C

This is a surrounding, like, dudes, that's.

Speaker C

That's been free with y' all family, but this is.

Speaker A

Forever.

Speaker C

But that's 30 plus years is what I'm saying.

Speaker C

And.

Speaker C

And.

Speaker C

And, bro, I know your movement, but your movement changed because I got kids, right?

Speaker C

And it's the same with Jeremy.

Speaker C

I. I could always pick up the phone.

Speaker C

Jerry, you trying to.

Speaker C

Yeah, Jeremy, we going to go.

Speaker C

Yeah.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker C

And now, Jeremy, you trying to.

Speaker C

Nah, bro, I got to.

Speaker C

Blah, blah.

Speaker C

Well, I call you after the kids gotta.

Speaker C

Yeah, all right, bro, I'm f. To sit down.

Speaker A

I ain't going to do nothing.

Speaker A

And it's.

Speaker C

It's.

Speaker A

It's.

Speaker A

It's ongoing and it's.

Speaker C

And it's not even something you can complain about.

Speaker C

It's just a.

Speaker C

You under.

Speaker C

I understand, J. I. I want my time, bro.

Speaker C

I love you, but I want my time, bro.

Speaker C

I ain't got to see you.

Speaker A

You're right.

Speaker A

I can love you from over there.

Speaker C

It's tough at it as it is.

Speaker C

It ain't that tough.

Speaker C

It's like, you right there.

Speaker C

It's like a You right there in the line, especially if you.

Speaker C

If you have like minded people around you.

Speaker A

Yeah, that's true.

Speaker A

But one thing I got to give all of us, though, it's like we've been knowing each other for so long.

Speaker A

Well, I've been knowing Jeremy all.

Speaker A

All my life, but.

Speaker A

But we've been knowing each other for so long.

Speaker A

For us just to keep this going, bro, that take.

Speaker A

That take a lot.

Speaker A

A lot of stuff that we got into together, like.

Speaker C

But it takes.

Speaker C

It takes effort and grace.

Speaker C

The.

Speaker A

The.

Speaker C

I read.

Speaker C

Oh, I sent that.

Speaker C

I sent that picture to y'.

Speaker C

All where they say, any friendships that last seven plus years last a lifetime.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker B

And.

Speaker C

What I see in.

Speaker C

In friendship, it's a lot of grace in friendship.

Speaker C

Jeremy done had to forgive me, bro.

Speaker A

Yeah, you had to forgive me.

Speaker C

Everybody had to forgive each other.

Speaker C

Like, and it's.

Speaker C

You really have to have great with y'.

Speaker B

All.

Speaker C

Like I said, y' all family, so it's a little bit different, but.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

Yeah, I had to apologize.

Speaker A

German, get them cameras.

Speaker B

I hope I run into that.

Speaker A

I can't wait to find either.

Speaker B

I just want my money.

Speaker A

That's all I want.

Speaker B

Just like I said on principle.

Speaker B

Hey, no, I mean, I get what you're saying.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker B

I mean, I know, like, the friendships that I had that didn't last.

Speaker B

It wasn't like, you know, we had a falling out.

Speaker B

It was just like you said, life divert you certain ways and, you know, a week of turn to two months and then next thing ain't talk this all year.

Speaker B

You just got them, you know, those that you hold close.

Speaker B

You make the extra effort for, you know, days.

Speaker A

I Got this clap.

Speaker C

Hey, hey, hey, hey, German.

Speaker C

I feel it.

Speaker C

Did he drop that?

Speaker B

Yeah, he got kissed up and it was cold.

Speaker C

Okay.

Speaker A

Yep.

Speaker C

This is my favorite part of the show.

Speaker C

It's barbershop talk.

Speaker A

Oh, barbershop.

Speaker C

Barbershop talk.

Speaker C

We just gonna let loose.

Speaker C

We just gonna talk.

Speaker A

Let's do it.

Speaker C

You let it loose and talk how you want to.

Speaker C

I'mma let y' all decide which one you want to talk about.

Speaker C

We got four different ones we can talk about.

Speaker B

Got him.

Speaker C

You want to talk about Problem.

Speaker C

Okay.

Speaker C

Okay.

Speaker C

All right.

Speaker C

The vote has been put in already.

Speaker C

Don't worry about it.

Speaker C

So we going to start it off with the Crawford versus Canelo.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

That was the latest thing they.

Speaker C

The fight just happened.

Speaker C

All right, so.

Speaker C

So I don't care.

Speaker C

One of y' all look ugly dudes.

Speaker C

Gonna start it off.

Speaker C

How y' all feel about that?

Speaker A

We're gonna leave that in there, too, I think.

Speaker B

I think it was just a master class for Crawford.

Speaker B

I'm glad the black man won.

Speaker A

Look at being racist.

Speaker B

But I actually don't record.

Speaker B

Actually, if I would have bet money, I probably would have took Canelo because he was just coming in.

Speaker A

I definitely wouldn't put money on Canelo, though.

Speaker B

But I mean, just as far as the bed.

Speaker B

But, I mean, I just think it was a great fight.

Speaker B

Really.

Speaker B

It wasn't a great fight.

Speaker B

I just think it was.

Speaker B

If you was rooting for Crawford, it was real.

Speaker A

It was kind of did the way he.

Speaker B

That was rude for him.

Speaker A

But the thing.

Speaker A

But the thing is that's why I love us.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker A

And this the reason why I love us.

Speaker A

And the reason why I love us is because we're fans and we're also realist.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

Because we can be a fan of a sport, but at the end of the day.

Speaker A

Hey, bro, he got one leg, bro.

Speaker A

Like, we a realist.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

At the end of the day, because I'm a fan of boxing, I'm a fan of football, I'm a fan of NBA.

Speaker B

I love boxing.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

But at the end of the day, we realist when it comes down to, you know, us making a decision on what we should think about or what we should see.

Speaker A

Because if.

Speaker A

If I'm.

Speaker A

I ain't going.

Speaker A

I ain't going to hold you.

Speaker A

If.

Speaker A

If your saying.

Speaker A

But when German.

Speaker A

I think it was algebra.

Speaker B

He ain't never fought nobody that no had those type of skills.

Speaker A

But.

Speaker C

But.

Speaker C

But this is the thing.

Speaker C

Crawford is.

Speaker C

Is a unicorn.

Speaker C

Because Crawford is at.

Speaker C

But Crawford is at the age where he shouldn't be getting better at this age.

Speaker C

Crawford going on 40.

Speaker B

But the thing is, he been fought like that.

Speaker B

He just one that's known and didn't have those opportunities.

Speaker B

Oh, he wrote.

Speaker B

But no, you.

Speaker C

You can eat, but you hear the boxers even when they compliment him.

Speaker C

Crawford is getting better.

Speaker B

No, but you don't look.

Speaker B

If you look at some of his highlights, bro, I'm telling you, he.

Speaker B

He is getting better.

Speaker B

But his fighting, like the way he boxes is still the same.

Speaker B

He just takes advantage because he can fight from either.

Speaker B

Either way.

Speaker B

He just takes however you come, and he just make the advantage go his way.

Speaker C

Got what you saying.

Speaker C

But what I'm talking about, Jeremy, he's the same age as us or a year older.

Speaker B

And Crawford is like.

Speaker B

I thought he's 34.

Speaker C

No, Crawford is like 30, 38, 39.

Speaker C

That's what I'm saying.

Speaker C

So he.

Speaker C

At the age he is, he's still doing.

Speaker C

He was older.

Speaker C

He's older than Canelo.

Speaker A

But my thing.

Speaker C

So I should be slower than you.

Speaker C

I shouldn't be looking quicker than you.

Speaker B

But my thing from Nebraska.

Speaker A

I told you.

Speaker C

Corn.

Speaker B

Cornbread.

Speaker A

My thing is what gave him that motivation is what his mama told.

Speaker B

Him.

Speaker A

Look, his mama told me he want, bro.

Speaker A

But he was like.

Speaker A

At the interview, they asked him, how did that make you feel?

Speaker A

He's like, if you just fill me with rage, bro, just imagine somebody, bro.

Speaker B

My mama start paying in the neighborhood to fight me.

Speaker A

Come on, $10, bro.

Speaker B

You better ask me for a dollar.

Speaker B

I get it.

Speaker B

Look, you better not ask me for a boy.

Speaker B

I be mad like you got.

Speaker B

Put you on the stifle.

Speaker A

Hey, look, she made a.

Speaker A

More champ.

Speaker C

But.

Speaker C

But the.

Speaker B

I mean, she.

Speaker B

I think he still could have got there without.

Speaker B

That was just.

Speaker A

Yeah, that was like.

Speaker A

I think she was in the bad spot in life.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker B

I mean, I. I don't know.

Speaker C

That's just.

Speaker C

That's worse than bad.

Speaker A

Hey, she was in like a bad spot.

Speaker A

You telling me I ain't.

Speaker A

Come on, Dominique, we fighting at three.

Speaker B

You know, she be coming there trying to.

Speaker B

Boy, I say, well, that's cold blood.

Speaker A

Yeah, but I can't.

Speaker A

I couldn't see myself.

Speaker B

I know he better than me.

Speaker B

Cause I'll be pet as hell.

Speaker A

What?

Speaker B

Like, yeah, bro.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

Your mama dying for real.

Speaker B

I'mma send you.

Speaker B

I'm talk.

Speaker C

I'm talking about before.

Speaker C

You talking about petty.

Speaker C

I'm talking about before when she come ask for money.

Speaker B

That's what I'm saying, bro.

Speaker B

You ask me for a dime, any.

Speaker C

Old lady around, I pay.

Speaker C

I pay you the same thousand she asked for.

Speaker C

I'll pay you a th to fight.

Speaker B

Him right hit in the forehead right now.

Speaker A

Y' all wrong as hell.

Speaker B

People fight.

Speaker A

But overall, for.

Speaker A

For the fight, though, it was a good, good fight.

Speaker A

I really thought he was going to knock him down, cuz I really wanted him to knock him down.

Speaker A

But he respected Canelo so good.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

He stick to the script, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker C

But now he.

Speaker C

He hit Canelo with some shots.

Speaker C

Canelo just got a good chin.

Speaker A

But.

Speaker C

But he.

Speaker C

He outboxed him in a. Canelo said he's better.

Speaker C

You can't ask no question with a question.

Speaker B

I mean, I think, is he better than.

Speaker B

Maybe.

Speaker B

I don't think.

Speaker B

No, I think from his perspective.

Speaker A

Hold on, J.

Speaker A

You.

Speaker A

You saying Floyd is better than Cross?

Speaker B

Florida is better than Crawford?

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker B

What I think Florida is the best box appear.

Speaker A

He's a good boxer.

Speaker B

I think Crawford is probably number two.

Speaker B

That's gonna be okay.

Speaker A

I watch.

Speaker B

I watch when you say, all right, Floyd don't get hit.

Speaker A

He don't.

Speaker B

That's the whole thing.

Speaker C

And Floyd didn't come with.

Speaker C

With somebody like Crawford who can kill you with either hand, bro.

Speaker B

Yes, he can.

Speaker B

Okay, well, not either hand.

Speaker B

Nobody can do that.

Speaker C

Crawford can.

Speaker B

But still Floyd is 40 and.

Speaker A

Oh, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

Speaker A

No, no, no.

Speaker A

Let me.

Speaker B

What I'm getting.

Speaker B

What I was about to get at is that as far.

Speaker B

As far as the best boxer, I would say, is Floyd as the best skill like fighter, because he could do it both ways.

Speaker B

And basically, I know when I watch a Crawford fight, the first three rounds, he just like, I'm.

Speaker B

I'm learning what you go do.

Speaker B

I'm giving you got three rounds to fit to get him, right?

Speaker B

If you don't get him in those three rounds, he got you.

Speaker A

Okay.

Speaker B

Because all he gonna do is like, just play chess out here.

Speaker A

Floyd didn't go to Canadian Canelo.

Speaker A

Canelo came to Floyd.

Speaker B

I mean, but Floor was old.

Speaker B

No, but when they fought and he still beat his ass.

Speaker B

But I'm saying Canelo was 23.

Speaker A

How long it take him.

Speaker C

How long it take him to fight Pacquiao?

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker B

That was about business.

Speaker C

No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker A

You gotta fight.

Speaker A

You gotta fight the best fighter.

Speaker B

Because.

Speaker A

Nobody wanted to give him the Fight.

Speaker B

That's what I'm saying.

Speaker B

There's no fights to be had.

Speaker C

Who was ducking Floyd?

Speaker C

It is what I'm saying.

Speaker C

It's a reason I'm.

Speaker B

You don't people think Doug Floyd.

Speaker A

You said who?

Speaker B

You don't think people duck Floyd?

Speaker A

No, I think Floyd duck people because.

Speaker B

Why it probably was both.

Speaker C

But Crawford ain't ducking.

Speaker A

Right.

Speaker B

Florida was trying to preserve his record, but he still was the.

Speaker B

Whoever he fought, he beat that way.

Speaker A

Yeah, he did.

Speaker C

I can you.

Speaker C

You're correct on that.

Speaker C

But put it this way.

Speaker C

Floyd has never.

Speaker A

Hold on.

Speaker C

Never made anyone.

Speaker A

I didn't realize you got a lot of her on your.

Speaker A

Let's go.

Speaker A

We go Red Bull.

Speaker A

Let's go back to live.

They got all these weapons, but they can't capitalize.

Speaker B

His brain scrambled now after.

Speaker B

Speaker A

They got Tyreek here, but I don't think Tyree losing the step now.

Speaker A

But he ain't the fastest.

Speaker A

He ain't the fastest dude in the league.

Speaker A

Cowboys got him.

Speaker A

Cowboys got him.

Speaker A

German gotta go pee, y'.

Speaker A

All.

Speaker A

I'm just saying.

Speaker A

Jeremy left cuz he had to go pee.

Speaker A

Hey, what's good doy?

Speaker A

What you got, bro?

Speaker A

Day.

Speaker A

Ty, let go.

Speaker A

We at barber shop.

Speaker A

That's how we get down.

Speaker C

Okay, listen, you feeling good?

Speaker C

So I'm give you.

Speaker C

I'm gonna give you a choice, all right?

Speaker C

We can talk about Cooper Flag.

Speaker C

Mom put a budget on him for his first car.

Speaker A

Okay.

Speaker C

Or what is one thing you wish women already knew?

Speaker A

I already knew.

Speaker A

Let me see.

Speaker A

Hold on.

Speaker A

Do I want to go there?

Speaker A

Nah, I'm gonna go to Cooper.

Speaker A

All right, let's go.

Speaker A

I'm gonna go to Cooper.

Speaker A

You know what?

Speaker A

That was kind of smart, you know what I'm saying, on his mom behalf, because.

Speaker C

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

Speaker C

So what.

Speaker C

What is going on is Cooper Flag just signed his rookie contract.

Speaker C

It was for.

Speaker C

I don't remember the years, but it was three or four years, 60 something million dollars.

Speaker C

I'm good.

Speaker B

And.

Speaker C

And his mom put a restriction on the amount he could spend on the car.

Speaker C

And I was believe it was 180, 000.

Speaker C

Okay, go ahead.

Speaker A

But that's.

Speaker A

That's actually smart.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

Then too smart on him.

Speaker A

Because, bro, half the time, you're not gonna be driving it.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker A

Hey, make sure you put it back up.

Speaker A

There you go.

Speaker A

But half the time you're not gonna be driving it.

Speaker A

So that's.

Speaker A

That is kind of smart for his mom to kind of teach him to the point where even though you got all this money, you don't need that.

Speaker A

That fancy, you know, car, because you can get two cars for 100 thou.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

You're really thinking about it.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

So I just think for.

Speaker B

On.

Speaker A

On that behalf.

Speaker A

I just think that was a smart play for his mom to show him to conserve his money on stuff that Cooper Flag that He got that three year.

Speaker A

How much you say, Dominique?

Speaker C

It was three or four years, 60 some million dollars.

Speaker C

And his mom put a.

Speaker B

Talking about Cooper Flag and somebody for the bag.

Speaker C

His mom put a.

Speaker C

Told him his restriction on how much he could spend on his first car.

Speaker C

It was 180,000.

Speaker B

Where's my money?

Speaker A

No, but I'm just saying.

Speaker C

But I'm just saying, junior just right now is talking as a parent.

Speaker C

And what I was about to go in is what Jeremy just said.

Speaker C

I, I at that age.

Speaker C

Like, if he listens, you're correct.

Speaker C

That is smart.

Speaker C

And it's going to.

Speaker C

It's going to continue going that way going forward, and you're going to be able to keep it with your money.

Speaker C

But when I was 18, 19.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

And if I signed a 34 year, $60 million contract with Jeremy, first word back on the mic was cuz that's what I'll be saying.

Speaker A

He had to go pe.

Speaker C

My daddy.

Speaker A

My.

Speaker C

My daddy would have said, dominic, your limit is 180,000.

Speaker C

I would have said, okay, I got one for 181.

Speaker A

You hear me, J?

Speaker C

And so they what?

Speaker C

Like, come on, y'.

Speaker B

All.

Speaker C

What was you.

Speaker C

What was you thinking in 1819?

Speaker C

Your daddy answer this.

Speaker A

Barbershop.

Speaker A

No, it's not.

Speaker A

I'm just saying, like, at the time, bro, you ain't never had that kind of money.

Speaker A

I know my parents a never had that.

Speaker B

I get.

Speaker B

They trying to coach it through it.

Speaker A

Yeah, but like, don't go blow.

Speaker B

But he ain't just got money, though.

Speaker B

They make money.

Speaker B

They make nil money.

Speaker C

But I'm saying, like, he's had money.

Speaker C

You're right.

Speaker A

But I'm saying he had money already.

Speaker A

So don't go blow.

Speaker C

So what are you telling me this for?

Speaker C

But I'm already a millionaire.

Speaker A

I get it.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker C

You just want to control.

Speaker C

But he cut your mom.

Speaker A

No, no.

Speaker A

Daddy need a Rolls Royce.

Speaker A

I just make sure you get my too.

Speaker A

I just said don't spend all your money on yours.

Speaker A

Get mine.

Speaker A

Daddy want to roll.

Speaker A

You know I want the Phantom, the big boy.

Speaker B

You know what?

Speaker C

I didn't give Jeremy the option.

Speaker C

Jeremy.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker C

Would you like to talk about the topic of what.

Speaker C

What is one thing you wish women already knew?

Speaker B

That was a mid there.

Speaker B

No every time.

Speaker B

There.

Speaker B

There it is.

Speaker B

You can teach.

Speaker A

Question Trying to get.

Speaker A

Get somebody caught up.

Speaker B

He sound like the F for real.

Speaker A

He got a W on dirt.

Speaker A

He on the wrong team.

Speaker A

What you talking about?

Speaker A

He on the wrong team.

Speaker B

Trying to end it.

Speaker B

Trying to end it with a bang.

Speaker A

He trying to get str.

Speaker B

I want teach.

Speaker A

No woman got it.

Speaker A

The first thing I said.

Speaker A

Cool.

Speaker B

Flag football.

Speaker A

Let's talk about something else.

Speaker B

Teach football.

Speaker A

But no but look, but think about it, bro.

Speaker A

Like if yo, if your kid got him had 100 million or whatever to sign his deal.

Speaker A

And you told him, look, don't spend over 180 something thousand on the car.

Speaker B

I.

Speaker A

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker A

That's your kid though.

Speaker B

I mean, yeah, I mean, definitely I'm gonna talk to him.

Speaker B

But I think realistically, if you, if your child coming to money like that, your best thing is to get them connected with the right people.

Speaker B

Like the right financial.

Speaker B

Yeah, financial people who, you know, who can really help them.

Speaker B

But other than that.

Speaker A

Yeah, because I ain't never had that money before.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker B

Because I mean again, like what can I tell them again?

Speaker B

I've never had no money like that.

Speaker B

Right.

Speaker B

Life changing money.

Speaker B

So.

Speaker B

I mean the financial advisor probably haven't either, but they know how to.

Speaker B

They.

Speaker B

They work.

Speaker B

Yeah.

Speaker A

They probably seen this before.

Speaker B

Just get them with the right people.

Speaker B

Don't go out here, you know.

Speaker A

Yeah.

Speaker B

I mean, it sucks because I know it's hard not to think like that you want to bring everybody with you.

Speaker B

But you hear about all them sad cases where everybody who tried to bring everybody with them ain't got nothing now.

Speaker B

So it's like you got to take care of you first.

Speaker B

Get you in the.

Speaker A

Hey, look, Ethan, Johnny is the poor live.

Speaker A

Y' all come across that get your mama.

Speaker A

Them straight.

Speaker B

I don't even get me.

Speaker B

Just give me a little phone.

Speaker B

I just need my three acres in a meal.

Speaker C

If, if one of my kids ever got money like that.

Speaker C

I remember thinking that I always heard the them.

Speaker C

I'm just happy my child made it.

Speaker C

I'm just happy my child got this money and blah blah, blah.

Speaker C

They faking.

Speaker C

You know you want some.

Speaker C

And I'm at a, A, a stage.

Speaker C

It could change once I hear them get the money.

Speaker C

But right now my mind is like, I wouldn't ask for nothing you got.

Speaker C

It's just.

Speaker C

It's just happy to know that you came from.

Speaker C

Daddy left.

Speaker C

They came from the left.

Speaker B

Mine went to play sports.

Speaker B

Only thing I would want to do is just go to the game.

Speaker B

That's it.
